Disambiguation link notification for August 14
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of steam car makers, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Reading. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

I wrote a whole lot on the above page thinking it was on this page and I was writing to you. As everyone now says — what's done is done. Over to you whether or not you want to reply. Eddaido (talk) 04:46, 17 November 2015 (UTC)

Reliable sources for acceleration page
I added a better source for the Challenger. As for the Charger the cars.com source seems perfectly fine, it clearly shows that they conducted the test themselves by a road test editor, and cars.com isn't really any less respected than say Motor Trend or Car and Driver. Surely fits Wikipedia policy for a reliable secondary source. I found a video that confirms the time, and will add it to the Notes section. The manufacturers NHRA certified time was actually quicker at 11 seconds flat. The Corvette Zr1 source is clearly not reliable as it just shows an image with a bunch of text on it, I also did a search for any other road tests posting a similar time and could not find any; a Motor Trend test listed 11.4. The Carrera GT is a similar story, however I found a Car and Driver road test that gives 11.2 thus still making the list. F-16 Viper (talk) 07:37, 18 November 2015 (UTC)

Mountain Goat (motor cycle)
As our resident expert on motoring history, you might be interested in Johnny Callender and the Mountain Goat. If you want to write an article about it, that would be choice. Looks like there are other resources available on the web, I googled "Callender mountain goat" and got lots of hits.- gadfium 23:30, 26 November 2015 (UTC)

Draft:Association for the Promotion of Electric Vehicles
Hi there, just doing a bit of maintenance and I noticed Draft:Association for the Promotion of Electric Vehicles, which you started but which hasn't been edited by you for more than six months. Are you aware that it now qualifies for speedy deletion? If you want to do further work on it, I'd say edit it soon. What are your intentions?  Schwede 66  04:38, 15 December 2015 (UTC)

Ford GT editor
The guy who edited the Ford GT time for List of fastest production cars by acceleration is a hoaxster. You might already know about him, but he's been making fake false edits about American sports cars/muscle cars for a while and making fake sources as well. He's been making amateur hoaxes such as these. http://i.imgur.com/JlIknmPl.jpg https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-VJAaQ5spKa0/ViwU-YV_gZI/AAAAAAAAFGo/vxNrie37xOk/s763-Ut/15%2B-%2B1 F-16 Viper (talk) 01:16, 19 January 2016 (UTC)

Apostrophe's usage
Looking at this edit (and many similar), can I just offer a minor correction? In general use, plurals of proper nouns do not require apostrophes before the final "s".

Incorrect: The squadron flew Mustang's from 1943 on, replacing the Spitfire's which had served since 1940. The Mustangs longer range made it better suited to combat operations in the South Pacific." Correct: "The squadron flew Mustangs from 1943 on, replacing the Spitfires which had served since 1940. The Mustang's longer range…" --Pete (talk) 22:10, 4 February 2016 (UTC)

Geraldton Comment
I've reverted your edit on the shelling of Port Gregory in the Geraldton article. It's hardly local - Port Gregory is 70 km to the north in the Shire of Northampton, 100 km by road. Perhaps fleshing it out to make it locally relevant might make it fit in an expanded History section but it's also unrelated to the Sydney Memorial. regards John beta (talk) 03:54, 23 March 2016 (UTC)

Hi. I've just been knocking about the above article making a beginning with the lead section because I felt there was more to the industry than assembly. Please feel free to correct me as and when you see it necessary. Regards, Eddaido (talk) 13:09, 24 March 2016 (UTC)


 * A bit concerned that there was the misunderstanding about Ford. There is virtually nothing about Ford there beyond a mention and that should be fixed. I know enough to comment but not to write. Sorry but with my computer (a currently available and up to date Mac) the images won't display properly so I have reverted to the old style.

Edit-a-thon in Wellington, May 29
Hi there. I'm organising an edit-a-thon at Te Papa on Sunday May 29th, focussed on adding NZ flora and fauna species to Wikipedia. It would be good to have some more experienced editors along to help any complete beginners, and I wonder if you might be interested in attending. If so, feel free to add yourself to the Meetup/Wellington/2016_Edit-a-thon. It would be great to have a good turnout and show Te Papa there's an active local editing community.

You are correct, big majority of RAF and RAAF planes in Singapore/Malaya were the Brewsters. But in the few cases when they managed to bring up Spitfires and Hurricanes, they were trounced by the Zero too. JoshDonaldson20 (talk) 13:25, 26 April 2016 (UTC)

New Challenge for Oceania and Australia
Hi, WikiProject Oceania/The 10,000 Challenge and WikiProject Australia/The 5000 Challenge are up and running based on The 10,000 Challenge which has currently produced over 2300 article improvements and creations. The Australia challenge would feed into the wider region one and potentially New Zealand could have a smaller challenge too. The main goal is content improvement, tackling stale old stubs and important content and improving sourcing/making more consistent but new articles are also welcome if sourced. I understand that this is a big goal for regular editors, especially being summertime where you are, but if you'd like to see large scale quality improvements happening for Oceania and Australia like The Africa Destubathon, which has produced over 1700 articles in 5 weeks, sign up on the page. The idea will be an ongoing national editathon/challenge for the region but fuelled by a series of contests to really get articles on every province and subject mass improved. The Africa contest scaled worldwide would naturally provide great benefits to Oceania countries, particularly Australia and attract new editors. I would like some support from existing editors here to get the Challenges off to a start with some articles to make doing a Destubathon worthwhile and potentially bring about hundreds of improvements in a few weeks through a contest!

Speedy deletion nomination of User:NealeFamily/Cheetah Cars


A tag has been placed on User:NealeFamily/Cheetah Cars, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the. Legacypac (talk) 18:15, 29 May 2017 (UTC)

Assessment
Hi there, thanks for working on WPNZ article assessment. I notice, though, that you tend to rate many articles as start class when they are still stubs. A rule of thumb is that below 1500 bytes of readable prose size, it's still a stub. That's not a hard and fast rule, and there's a lot of scope to see things differently. But either way, it's a good initial guide. User:Dr_pda/prosesize.js provides a useful script for your vector.js file, in case you aren't using it already. Any queries, please ask.

RE: Sang Saka Malaya
I've read somewhere KMM flag was the Indonesian flag, but not Sang Saka Malaya. I don't remember where I read it however (not on the internet, that's for sure). I'll try to look for the source. __earth (Talk) 03:14, 22 December 2017 (UTC)


 * Actually I found this for PKMM: "Another important feature of the two organisations that enable us to conclude analytically that the PKMM constituted a further development emanating from the KMM is the strong sense of pan-Indonesianism in both organisations. Not only did the leaders of the organisations show the marked influence of such Indonesian nationalist leaders as Sukarno, but they were never discreet about their concept of the Malay nation as based on the 'larger Malaya' concept (Melayu Raya) which territorially covers both Malaya and Indonesia. This is not only discernible in the case of KMM leaders making contacts with Indonesian leaders (under the auspices of the Japanese authorities) or in their effort to establish an independent Indonesia embracing the Malay Peninsula but also in the case of PKMM, which "went so far as to adopt the Indonesian Republican flag and other peculiarities of the Indonesian revolution..." This is from Rustam Sani's Social Roots of the Malay Left, page 29-30. Rustam in turn cited JH Brimmel's Communism in Southeast Asia: A Political Analysis (1959), page 200. __earth (Talk) 03:25, 22 December 2017 (UTC)


 * Here's another source saying PKMM flag was the Indonesian flag, not "Sang Saka Malaya", but "Sang Saka Merah Putih". https://books.google.com.my/books?id=Gx1ABAAAQBAJ&pg=PT177&lpg=PT177&dq=pkmm+flag&source=bl&ots=I7D_6BX5iq&sig=IfybiSHLxxrCQt2u-5f2UG5hovw&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwj5yuLyqJ3YAhXFqI8KHf5WDL4Q6AEIUTAJ#v=onepage&q=pkmm%20flag&f=false It's in Malay however, but the excerpt is in English, which should be enough __earth (Talk) 09:40, 22 December 2017 (UTC)

Production Car Definition
Please review the recent changes to the "Production Car" page, as to what defines a production car. Currently one user is going around changing all of the pages to remove any number we had all previously accepted, including making comments that "2 or 3 made can be a production car". This was a major edit war 13 years ago, hoping we can avoid that this time with some input from others, thank you.RTShadow (talk) 03:51, 21 March 2018 (UTC)

While I appreciate the sourcing that has gone into the paragraph you've added on the article, We've proved it existed on the Afd discussion for the page, and the likely consensus is going to be that the article will be deleted. What I'm saying with this is that I don't really understand why you've added the paragraph; It just seems unnecessary, and is likely going to be for naught.💵Money💵emoji💵Talk 23:14, 12 April 2018 (UTC)

I'd hope not to see the information lost, either. If it looks like going against (& there's actual discussion...), I'd suggest a merge back in to keep it. That said, IMO he'd survive an AFD, given the company produced 400 cars & he was in a Who's Who. However...it's watchlisted, by default, so we'll see.

Disambiguation link notification for August 27
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited British Military Administration (Malaya), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Klang ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/British_Military_Administration_%28Malaya%29 check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/British_Military_Administration_%28Malaya%29?client=notify fix with Dab solver]). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
